I know in the past you said there wasn't enough room to Mill it out from 30 to 34 mm but then it occurred to me that the rings changed over time.

I have some of the old talon mounts where the rings had a squarish side to them as opposed to the later production ones that are more rounded.

Might the older one have enough space to mill out to 34?

The problem is not the outside shape  of the rings, the problem is the location of tue screws that mount the ring tops to the base- if you try to mill the scope bore holes out to 34mm you end up in the screws. Sorry 😥

What if using the flat portion of the old style rings we put new screws further out?

I understand what you are trying to do, but trust me, it just isn't possible.  

There is not enough material outboard of the existing threaded holes to drill and tap new holes, sorry.

@TSH77769

What receiver type do you have that you want to mount a 34mm Talon mount to?

A3 SA.

It's not a big deal I just remembered that some of the earlier rings were different style than some of the later rings and I thought maybe the older style might have more space.

I would take an a3m1 34mm talon as an alternative to the a3sa.

The whole thing that led to this question was the Gideon and or Griffin 34 mm scope.
